Sunderland are without keeper Robin Roefs, who misses his first Premier League game this season due to an injury. Melker Ellborg makes his debut in goal, while Granit Xhaka is on the bench after starting against Bournemouth. For Leeds, James Justin and Joe Rodon are both fit to start in defence after picking up knocks in Saturday’s defeat to Manchester City.
Pre-game thoughts from our man at Everton-Burnley …
If ever there was a game that could get a team’s home form back on track, a visit from Burnley would be high on the list. The Clarets are heading back to the Championship, while Everton are hoping to get into Europe but have not won on home soil in the Premier League since 6 December. They really need a victory here to boost their ambitions to be playing continental football next season.
Dwight McNeil shone in the victory at Newcastle and keeps his place in the starting lineup here against his former club. David Moyes was happy to sell him in January but the shambles at Crystal Palace meant he stayed at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. His endeavour and work rate have never been in question but rarely has he put a run of goals and assists together while in blue. It will be interesting to see if he can build on what he showed at St James’ Park.
